ASC To Check Illegal Smoking
Smoking in University buildings must be confined to authorized places, Homer Evans, chairman of the All Student Council committee on smoking, said today.
Beginning Thursday, "checkers" will be on duty to warn and take names of students violating smoking regulations. Evans said. Violators of smoking regulations will be brought before the student court for action.
The violations are particularly numerous in the entrances of the wings of Frank Strong hall and will be checked closely, he said. While there have been few if any violations of smoking regulations in Watson Library, C. M. Baker, library director, has requested students to move away from the front doors while smoking or talking, so that the doorways aren't blocked.
Only places in University buildings where smoking is permitted are the press rooms of the Journalism building, first floor hall of Green hall, basement hall of Frank Strong hall, first floor hall of the hydraulic laboratory, and the lobby of Snow hall.
The Union building is not included in University buildings as far as the regulation is concerned.

No Need To Be A Dervish To Wear An Indian Sari
"The University certainly is getting down to earth on its courses."
Only 122 persons appeared at Watkins hospital for influenza vaccinations Monday, a sharp decrease in number from the average for the previous week.
122 Get Vaccine For Flu Monday
Total shots given in the six days beginning last Monday, are 1,680. The vaccine is administered without charge to students.
Dr. R. I. Canutesh, director of the University health service, is disappointed in the decline. "We hope to give 300 to 400 vaccinations a day," he said.
Third Bitter Bird Appears On Campus
Copies of the Bitter Bird, campus humor magazine which was set up in 1945 in the absence of the Sour Owl, were distributed to student subscribers this morning.
Many American girls who received
It was the third publication of the magazine. Some copies were sold Saturday afternoon at the Homecoming game.
Do law students of India whistle when an Indian girl wearing a sari passes? No one seems to know, but the saris, which are the cause of such deep thought, are being worn on the campus by Mehra and Dina Darwalla, recent arrivals from India.
Edited by Terry Herriott, College junior, the magazine featured cartoons by Frank Miller, Fine Arts freshman, and Evan Connell, Jr., College senior. Assistant editors are Rhoten Smith, College senior, and Byron De Haan, Business senior.
A sari is a strip of cloth, usually silk, five or six yards long and 45 inches wide. They are worn by the women of India from about the age of 14.
saris from their G.I. boy friends in India are still wondering how the garment is worn.
Mehra Darwwalla says that putting one on is very simple and that she will demonstrate the proper procedure for those who wish to know. No whirling dervish act is necessary, she added.
Chances are that the coeds will start a new fad soon. The practicality of the sari is responsible. It uses no belts or pins and nylon hose worries are eliminated.
It's a race between the weather and the workmen but campus bus shelters should be completed in another three weeks, Prof. George M. Beal, department of architecture, predicted.
Race With Weather For Bus Shelters
Crews began cutting logs on power saws in the building and grounds service this week. The two shelters will be on Jawahk drive, one on the north side below Green hall and the other on the south side across from Bailey chemistry building.
Stretched between the log uprights will be a canvas wind breaker. The north shelter will have a south opening while the shelter across from Bailey labs will have a small door in the north side. Kansas winter winds, Professor Beal said, are nearly always north or west winds, and both shelters have been designed to protect students from their blasts. The shelters will measure 28 feet long, six feet wide, and eight feet high.
